It's not a fishing pole but I had an embarassing situation when I rolled a Belf Pally. Sent him some BOA shoulders and gold, started questing and started pugging right away. Went on for a couple of hours when all of a sudden a healer says "Why is the Tank running around in squishy shoulders"? The laughing started almost like in a comedy club and I stopped and thought "Hmm, I'm the tank. WTH?"! Needless to say, I logged back into my main and sent the righT BOA shoulders to him, now the Squishy shoulders are on my bank toon since we all know that bank toons need flair.

I had almost the same situation, got token from halfus for my chest, had to respec on council to resto, then switched back to feral on cho'gall, but forgot that i had saved feral set with 359 chest, which was already turned into 372. So, in fairly competetive 10m raid i got top dps (smt like 18700) in the healer chest from magmaw .

I can do you one better. We were attempting Council for the first time the other night and I had been taking my weapon off when wipes were called. Well we finally wrapped up our attempts (no kill sadly) and Horde managed to get BH on Mal'ganis (very rare these days) so we went to it. During the fight I noticed I was third on the meters and no matter what I did I was stuck at 13k DPS. About 30 minutes later I noticed "hey wtf is my weapon" when I was standing in ORg. Apparently for BH at least I had no weapon whatsoever equipped, and quite possibly for the last two attempts on Council

So Good news: I can do 13k DPS without a weapon,Bad news: I am apparently an idiot .

oh well... since it's been necroed... the other night I went again to firelands to get some stuff for my resto set...Offhand dropped from Shannox, and I won it.. but as it's BoE, they asked me to equip it... so I did...Down goes Beth, I ended up 3rd...when we are going to Baleroc, after the trash, I open my char stats to see why I'm doing so crappy dps.... and "oops", I had only the offhand equipped, no weapon..claws hit hard!!!
